Nicknamed “The Thumper,” the Hornady 450 Bushmaster is the most radical cartridge ever chambered in production AR-15 type firearms.
Hornady brings big bore performance to the most popular semi-automatic rifle in America — opening a whole new world of hunting to the battle-proven platform. Hornady engineers worked closely with the Bushmaster design team building the cartridge to wring every last ounce of performance from the AR-15 without sacrificing any strength or reliability.
Well suited to hunt any North American game, the 450 Bushmaster will quickly become a favorite of bear country guides. By simply switching uppers, shooters can go from the prairie dog towns of South Dakota to bear country in the north woods!
- The 450 Bushmaster fires Hornady’s 0.452” 250 gr. FTX featuring Hornady’s Flex Tip technology
- The overall cartridge matches the 223 Remington at 2.250”, but uses a specially designed magazine
- Put it all together, and you have a cartridge that gives your AR series rifle a serious attitude adjustment!
